Reasons To Be Cheerful

We had 2 surprises and found out for the third. Cosif it was another boy we would have plenty of clothes, etc already, a girl and we'd have some shopping to do. It was another boy.

Just had the family bbq that we'd been waiting all summer for. My parents, siblings and their families, and my aunts and uncles, even my sister in law. The weather was fab, the kids had a ball, it was so nice to have a full house (well garden) again. Even the puppy was so well behaved - I had been a bit worried as he has been a bit nippy the last couple of days, but he was perfect. I really felt today that I hadn't much to complain about. It's a nice feeling. Looking forward to a repeat at Christmas, although maybe indoors.

Just saw this straight after getting an email from the Range about their christmas shops... so had to share.

With all the restrictions last year, I never made it to The Range. I will definitely go this year, and already I can't wait!!

Got a winter coat today. Very pleased with it, and it was half price in NEXT. Nearly winter ready, lads. 😁

You'll be wearing it soon Posy if this morning is anything to go by. Chill in the air out there.

Elf has to be the most used Christmas meme.

Posy · 02-09-2021 8:08am

He makes a great meme, to be fair! 😁

DvB · 02-09-2021 9:43am

GIGGIDY!!

Don't worry would be done in about 2 weeks!!

Posy · 02-09-2021 10:34pm

You're not wrong, TRS!! 😁

TRS30 · 03-09-2021 3:30pm

Right, PC going off and work done till Monday.

Quiet enough weekend ahead to looking forward to getting a few things done and some good quality family time.

Have a good one guys.

My neighbour mowed my lawn while I was at work 😊

Booked Santa for the last Friday in November at palmerstown house, home afterwards and hopefully toy show will be on the same night. Missed out last year after leaving it too late and the year that it was. Santa lists in October again this year I’d say. Upping my game!!

Autosport · 05-09-2021 1:10am

Some ideas for you 😉

Definitely not one to start Christmas Eve after half a bottle of wine 😂

At some stage, I'll break out my story (again) of falling asleep in a big Wendy house that I started to put together late Christmas Eve while well over the limit!!

DvB · 06-09-2021 9:10am

& I, for one, look forward to it!!

Have my own tales of Christmas Eve and getting the santa presents prepped, I suspect every mum & dad does!

Booked my tickets for the Pumpkin Patch last night! 🎃 While my heart forever belongs to December, Pumpkin Patch Sunday is one of my favourite days of the year! We go with my sister & her family every year and I really missed it last year!

matchthis · 07-09-2021 2:10pm

Dunnes have started with a few Christmas items online. Got some great stuff last year and cant wait to see what they bring out this year. The snowflake tea light holders got loads of comments last year

That's a really good call. The household sections in Dunnes have really improved over the last few years & they get in some lovely bits at Christmas, we've picked up some nice bits in both Blanchardstown & Donaghmede and will definitely be having a look again this year.
